Early Life and Military Service

He moved to the United States of America at the age of seven with his mother, who was serving as a South Korean diplomat,[1] and spent four and a half years in New York City before returning to Korea in 1969 to finish high school. He was accepted to the Korea Military Academy (KMA) in 1977. There, he studied military history and was commissioned as an infantry officer in 1981 upon completion of his degree.[2]

Shortly after graduation, then-Lieutenant Chun was selected as an aide to Lieutenant General Lee Ki-Baek, making him the youngest officer in the history of the army to be appointed aide to a three-star general.[1] In October 1983, General Lee was nearly killed in a terrorist bombing in Rangoon and Chun was credited with saving Lee’s life in the aftermath of the attack.[3][4] He was awarded the National Security Medal (Kwang-Bok) for his actions.[5][1]

After promotion to brigadier general he served in positions commanding 29th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division of the Republic of Korea Army and helped direct elections in Iraq in 2005.[6] For his service in Iraq he received the Hwa-Rang Combat medal and became the first Korean officer since the Vietnam War to be awarded the U.S. Bronze Star.[7][8] Later in 2005, he served as the Director of U.S. Affairs at the Korean Ministry of National Defense.[5]
